The hardest attackers of abortion are, more often than not, religious. Though there are pro-lifers from diverse backgrounds (many of whom are not religious), Christians are the most vocal opponents of abortion. Most pro-choicers interpret this to mean that being against abortion is a religious issue and thus confuse opposition to abortion with imposition of religious beliefs.

The pro-life movements focus is fundamentally on specific individuals. This is rarely acknowledged in media. Typically, when you see the issue of abortion discussed, it is looked at only from a large-scale point of view.

I remember a conversation I had with a friend many years ago, when we were very little. My friend is adopted, and she was explaining to me about her adoption, because some kids in her school did not understand.

To begin, half a year ago our pro-life club was asleep. In February 2014 I asked our president Nina Evans if I could join the club and she said, “Sure!” I asked when our next meeting was and she said, “Um, we don’t have one.”

Society today wants us to believe that a child is a “clump of cells” until the time of delivery! We see pictures of fetuses and embryos, and are told to believe that this is not a human being. Every once in a while, however, Hollywood gives evidence that perhaps unborn babies are more than just ‘tissue.’

Sex creates babies. Woah. It’s a shocking fact, I know. Sex is ordered towards the creation of new life. It’s the primary purpose and what a beautiful purpose it is. Yet in our culture, babies seem like a bad word and only for couples who have reached a magical age in which their financial, emotional, and spiritual ducks are all in a pretty little row. Until then, use contraception and let freedom ring.

At first glance, “finding the pro-life message in Hollywood” seems like an impossible task. Many people are quick to characterize the epicenter of popular culture as a place without any morality-affirming messages.

If you’ve been anywhere on social media lately, you’ve probably been flooded with posts about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. This trend has been extremely effective in spreading a message and raising money for a cause. We want to use it in a slightly different way. We challenge all Prolife youth to take on the Prolife Challenge!

This summer I organized a pro­life booth at the county fair. I passed out pro­life literature and displayed fetal models. At the end of the week, a man approached me with a baby model I had given to a young girl. On it she had written "Don't judge me.”
